Hello, Now it's time for the next saga in my gentoo pylucene ebuild. Once I've compiled pylucene on gentoo (it works at last, hooray), it installs the following files: /usr /usr/share /usr/share/pylucene-2.4 /usr/share/pylucene-2.4/lib /usr/share/pylucene-2.4/lib/extensions.jar /usr/share/pylucene-2.4/package.env /usr/lib /usr/lib/python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/_lucene.so /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/__init__.py /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/lucene-core.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/lucene-analyzers.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/lucene-snowball.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/lucene-highlighter.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/lucene-regex.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/lucene-queries.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/lucene-instantiated.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/extensions.jar /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene/__init__.pyc /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene-2.4.0-py2.5.egg-info /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene-2.4.0-py2.5.egg-info/PKG-INFO /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene-2.4.0-py2.5.egg-info/not-zip-safe /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene-2.4.0-py2.5.egg-info/top_level.txt /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene-2.4.0-py2.5.egg-info/dependency_links.txt /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/lucene-2.4.0-py2.5.egg-info/SOURCES.txt
That's great, it works well. However, those jar files are just copies of the originals right? (diff says so). Is there any mechanism in place already to place a symlink to the original jar files instead of a copy? Would that have any negative impact on things? I ask, because gentoo frowns on copies of jars floating around, possibly getting out of sync one with another. Thanks, Jacob Floyd
